Vermont School-rooms.

The Boston Transcript hears from
Vermont that the temperance instruc-
ton in the schools is making rather
poor Roadway there. The rustic
young idea does not readily seize upon
the physiological facts and assumptions
which it is occasionally required to
master in advance of its capacity to
comprehend them. The Rural Yer
moater of Montpelier has some an
swers to questions from examination
papers in this branch of instruction
which are instructive in q sense. In
reply to the question, what is the
brainp' one Vermont youngster pro-
duced this answer.
The is all the time sinang minches
on the nevers and is the you of body
thinks"
Who could possibly interpret thisP
The teacher was nonplused at first,
but managed at length to get a very
coherent reply out of it, thus:
''lt is all the time sending messages
over the nerves, and is the part of
your body that thinks"
Another answer to the same question
was this:
The brain is bony cage tcasel.
1t has the most brain work to do of
anything The nerves are all white
cords which run all over you if you
had no nerves you could not have the
toothache or burn you but you could
not feel your mothers warm hand"
Here are some answers that the
questions regarding the physiological
effect of tobacco produced;
You hadent ought to chue tobacco
becaus it criples you in every way and
stonts the growth.
at hearts the bones and the boy
who chews it is not so, that is not so
plite as if he had not chewed attall
and does not remember his lessons so
we'll"
Popacto will make the bones weak
and it will stump the groth."
"TObacko is an emmerinne Tenemy1
to the bones"
The gem of the collection, however,
is an evidence of the effect produced
on the mind of the rising Vermont
generation by the questions regarding
the distillation of alcohol This proc
ess seemed to be very easily grasped
| by the children on the whole, and this
answer is given as an example of the
average work of large class:
''Alcohol is made by distillation.
The following is an experiments Fill
a teapot with a fermented liquid and
place in its spout piece of rubber
tubing about two feet long, and put
the other end of the rubber in the neck
of bottle which stands on ice or in
water. Place lamp under the tea
pot and light it. Before the liquid
comes to boil, nearly all the alcohol
in it will have passed as vapor into
the tubing and dropped as water into
the bottle, because OF the GOODNESS of
the ice or water. On much larger
scale, regular distlleries are carried
on"
At this point Of the lesson bright
little girl got up and asked plaintively:
''Why don't we all make our own al
coholP" 1t was evident that the pre-
else object of all this instruction about
intoxicants was quite lost upon this
pupil. The young Vermonters are of
course at home on the subject of cider,
and one of them compressed great
deal of information. including some
that was possibly likely to get his
parent or guardian into trouble,
4 into this answer:
"Cider is made out of apples and
stood until it sours, then they sell it. E"
